    :j!!!!!I got paid!!!!!:j


    Sorry, I meant to put this on my DFW diary thread! (it was late...)

    Thing is, I work in a pub, and haven't been paid since the end of November - that's why I was so excited!!!


    However, I've just found MORE Christmas chocolate!!! AND I've lost 7lbs since January 2nd. (with a bit of help from Ickle Wii Fit!)

    This challenge works in more ways than 1! :D

  • The usual Sunday update - didn't even see the Liz Earle tsv yesterday - busy with lads all morning, then straight out for a family get together for the rest of the day. I'm sure there will be her next tsv not long after the challenge finishes?

    All food consumed at work being taken in - I really do think it is habit getting stuff ready to take, and I am finding it easier each week. Cold weather helps as we feel less like going out on a lunchtime!!!
  • Oooo Another thread I haven't posted on in ages!

    I am still doing the no toiletries no mags - going ok. In fact I am practically immune to tolietries now, well sort of!

    I have run out of body lotion and am now using hand cream and sun tan lotion before I start on the stuff in my Avon box (raffle prizes/free gifts if I ever get round to it) oh and a gift set from Christmas.

    I have make up and face cream to last need to buy deoderant but thats not included.

    yep not going badly.

    hope all is going well for you guysxxxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    hi everyone

    doing really well on the toiletries and magazines -nothing bought since start of challenge. Have had a couple of bags of crisps though so although i have failed on that one I haven't had nearly as many crisps as i would have done if i wasn't doing that on my challenge.

    Hi everyone,

    I've been offline for a few days so I'm just catching up now. I have still been good but MAC have released some new collections in the UK and I "need" some of the products. I really "need" the blonde MSF and some of the new sculpt foundation. Anyone else tempted by these:confused:

    I also feel a visit to Debenhams coming on because Clinique has their Bonus Time starting on Friday and I need some brush cleanser (I actually do need this one:rotfl: ) and some All About Eyes. It's not good though because my only local MAC counter is in Debenhams:eek:

    Oh the torture :doh:

  • Haven't been on for a couple of days, but still holding out well... Did have to buy DS some more toothpaste (he's 2 so shouldn't use ours) and some bubble bath, but both were needed, so I hope thats ok..? :o

    Seems to be a bit quiet here lately, hope everyone is ok...?

    All ok with me, just in the process of using up a Liz Earle Nourishing Mask 15ml size which my skin has nearly drank in 10ml!!

    What else have i nearly used up? A Philosophy Shower gel Hot Cocoa; Liz Earle Skin Repair 50ml.

    I am selling OH a Philosophy Hope in a Jar for a tenner which he loves and doesn't want to be without even tho' he has one spare I gave him from Chirstmas. He has had almost 12mths of moisturiser from me in this way, however he is happy to pay for it this time!

    Otherwise I will have to avoid me favourite L'Occitane TSV on Saturday and I bet it's on autodelivery. I bought one of these sets last year and got 3 lots of presents out of it as well as loads for me. But I have loads of shower cremes left to use so must not buy it

    Note to self: Stay Strong remember how you felt whe you bought the Nails Inc set?

    I can't believe how much money I have not spent due to this chanllenge which is a good job as I am skint!

    Well I nearly caved in last night with the SBC TSV on QVC.

    I got as far as picking the phone up and pressing the call button. It was only the thought of the forum/challenge that stopped me. I thought of this and then of all the stuff I have and managed to stop myself. It was close tho' not putting straight on the CC as I would have done before. It was my biggest challenge of all and the closest.

    bounce.gifI did not cave in!!!! woohoo1.gif


    Well done you.I had to get rid of sky , so QVC would not be on my TV .I can honestly say I dont miss it, one little bit .It has been like being set free.I also save £32.00 month on sky fees, and have taken up new hobbies.
    I appreciate Each and Every win. I thank every comp poster from the bottom of my heart :A
